HÔTEL DU VIEUX SAULE ^{* * *}

Friendly service, great location, slightly small rooms (but so is everywhere in Paris, I guess!), very safe bet for a city break.

工作人员非常热情！帮我们处理了行李和叫计程车，房间很大，有空调和电梯（电梯比较小，不过没关系）床铺很舒服，地理位置优越，很不错的一次体验

Bien mais cher. Très bien placé près du marché des enfants rouges un quartier animé.

We should have looked for another hotel the moment we walked in. This boutique hotel had a great photographer so we felt okay about booking it on the website beforehand. After arrival at realized our rookie mistake.

Yes the rooms are so small. This was expected because it’s Europe but other issues made our stay very uncomfortable.
The room is under 2 feet wide on either side of a queen bed. You cannot completely open two full suitcases in the room. You can open one but won’t be able to go around it and you’re stuck in that spot until it’s zipped up and pushed to the side. The bathroom was fine but the towels were teeny and thin.
There’s a large built in cabinet that takes up a big section of the room I had (on the main floor) with a desk that has no chair so it was unusable.

Here is where the hotel and staff could’ve fixed some issues. As I was getting ready a 3x3 foot bathroom tile slid off the vanity and hit my shin. They had flimsily taped a massive tile to an under sink pipe that fell off and hit me. Meaning they knew this tile was not secured and used tape. Tape to hold it in place.

Next, my room’s hairdryer did not work, which they were aware of and did not fix before we arrived nor did they fix during our visit. I had to go out and buy a hairdryer. I did not bring one from home because their listings specifically state that they provide hairdryers

The tiny ancient TV never worked.

Lastly, they claimed they have air-conditioning, which they do not. They have a vent fan. My nights were spent sweating.

Another space issue: It was very difficult to use the 2‘ x 2 1/2‘ wide elevator during my stay, my very small stroller and I barely fit in. It’s extremely small. The breakfast is located in the basement and is very sparse. It made more sense to go out and buy breakfast.

This is a quaint hotel in a great area. However, the room was so small. There was not even a chair at the "desk" in the room. It was manageable but not comfortable. The hair dryer didn't work and was never fixed for us. We literally went out and bought one. As I was leaving, they charged me $28.00 for a slim breakfast out of the blue. I thought it was included. So watch out for that. I wouldn't stay here again. It was the hard part of our trip to France.
